Week 3 Blog

To me, the purpose of college is to broaden your education beyond what high school curriculum can do.  There is no doubt that it is to prepare one for their career choice, that is why you go into a specific major.  After a student takes the necessary general classes then he goes to specialize in his career choice.   I think that is how everything is in the world now, most people become skilled in one specific thing.  Though, socializing is also a key factor in college.  People meet new and different people who they never would have thought to be friends with prior to college.  It's also part of growing up.  If i wasn't to have came to college then I probably wouldn't even know how to wash my own clothes yet.  Little things like that are what you learn by being independent.  If I had to pick the ideal classroom setting then it'd have no more than 50 students and a professor who isn't the same old boring type that you'd think.  His or her teaching techniques I'd want to be different and not just the same thing every week.  As for how classmates interact, well I would just want them to be open and know that we're somewhat all in the same boat.  I would only want assignments on random days, not something every single day.  Spacing out big assignments and such would be very helpful to myself and I'd say others as well.  When us, students, are given the choice what to write on and what to do, then we usually are more open minded when it comes down to actually doing the assignment.
